Great car so far

I purchased the Kia Optima Turbo SXL and I must say I'm very impressed with the ride quality. The Car is very very fast and gets up to 100 miles with very little effort in normal mode. If you put it in Sports Mode, forget it this thing is crazy fast. The ride is smooth and quite yet its has the sportiness when you want it. I was going to get the 2106 Maxima but I'm glad I decided on this car instead. The Maxima is a nice car but the Kia has some advantages over it. The Max takes premium gas, the Kia takes regular gas. The Max has a CVT transmission and the Kia has an 6 gear transmission and the Kia has a much better warranty. The Max is 8 k more. All in all i'm happy with my decision and don't regret it one bit.

This is my 2nd Kia Optima EX Base model. its a 2015. I love the Premium package (definitely worth the $3000 to 5000 upcharge but until things get better for me I am very satisfied with the EX Base. I've had my car for a week but I had the exact model in a 2012 and I love it. The newer one is quieter and has voice activated radio and the controls on the steering wheel are different.

3 years and 145 thousand miles has really put this optima to the test. So based on all these miles I've driven there are a few things that have happened along the way. It's a good car I haven't had much trouble with it. I would probably buy again. So here's what you guys look for in a review...the issues . 1. It doesn't come with a spare tire. (found that out the hard way). 2. At 140 thousand miles the ac compressor went out costing me right at 1000 dollars to fix. Now something is going on with the front end I have an appointment to have that looked at tomorrow. The clear coat is peeling off in several places and there is a rust spot on the hood. The interior has held up nicely still like brand new. The car runs great overall! I loved it when I bought it and I still love it.. Just the body issues such as the clear coat and the rust spot have kind of gotten me a little upset. Overall I give it my blessing after all 145 thousands miles is 3 years is a lot.
